Can you swap the snapring with the tranny in the car and just pull the tail shaft?

provided that 5th isn’t stuck in place. It isn’t as I did the rebuild. Friggin thing has been perfect and in 5th going up bridge about 50 it pops out of gear. No more 5th and everything else is perfect

 

I stink so.

Prolly take twice as long and be 3 times as much effort as just popping the whole thing out. Isn't hard at all and doesn't take that long.

 

Yeah. You’re right. I just had to think about it a bit and realized…..yeah I can, but like you said….might be easier to pull it. I just hate being under there on jack stands anymore. Really wish I had a lift and tranny jack.

That and new clutch and flywheel feel great after previous clutch/hydraulic throw out bearing issues. I’ll just pull it and leave the bell and all attached. Need to find a guy that has lift access and will do it on the side.

I was just going like 50 in 5th up a steep bridge and it slid out of gear. No other issues….really sounds like the snap ring came loose and 5th backed up on the shaft.

sux because I put a lot of goodies in the rebuild and some 3$ snap ring comes lose.

 

S. Fl. WPB area if there is anyone with a lift and interested in making a few bucks. I could help and we could knock it out pretty quick.
